Give the formula and name of the alkane which contains four carbon atoms in each molecule?

The formula for an alkane with four carbon atoms is C₄H₁₀. This alkane is named butane.


Is carbon monoxide an example of an alkane?

No. An alkane is a compound of carbon and hydrogen. Carbon monoxide consists of carbon and oxygen.


Is 1-nonene an alkane alkene or an alcohol?

1-nonene is an alkene, as it contains a carbon-carbon double bond.


How many hydrogens in alkane?

In an alkane, each carbon atom is bonded to 4 hydrogen atoms. So, the number of hydrogens in an alkane can be determined by the formula 2n+2, where n is the number of carbon atoms in the alkane.


Is Octane is seven carbon linear alkane?

No. Octane is an alkane but it has eight carbons.


Organic compound of carbon and hydrogen connected only by single bonds is an?

Alkane


What is the name for ten -carbon continuous chain alkane?

The name for a ten-carbon continuous chain alkane is decane.


What is the molecular formula for a 18 carbon alkane?

The molecular formula for an alkane with 18 carbon atoms is C18H38. Alkanes have the general formula CnH2n+2, where n is the number of carbon atoms.


Is 3-methyloctane an alkane an alkene or alcohol?

3-methyloctane is an alkane because it consists entirely of carbon-carbon single bonds. Alkanes are hydrocarbons made up of only single bonds.


Is 1 nonene alkane alkene or alcohol?

1-nonene is an alkene because it has a double bond between two carbon atoms in its carbon chain.


Are alkenes named the same way alkanes are named?

They are. The only difference in name is that alkanes ends with -ane, alkenes end with -ene. Also, the alkane with the least carbon is methane (CH4) but the alkene with the least carbon is ethene (C2H4).


How many carbons atoms would be present in an alkane that contains 32 hydrogen atoms?

In an alkane the number of hydrogen atoms is two greater than twice the number of carbon atoms. If we reverse this rule, we find that the number of carbon atoms is one less than half the number of hydrogen atoms. 32/2=16 16-1=15 So our alkane would have 15 carbon atoms. This alkane would be pentadecane or one of its isomers.
